Have you tried to paste something into the Linux terminal with the tried-and-true Ctrl+v keyboard shortcut? If so, you found out it doesn't work. But why? I'll avoid the history lesson here, but Ctrl+c is a keyboard shortcut to kill a command. 

Because of that, Ctrl+c and Ctrl+v do not work as expected. Instead, use Ctrl+Shift+c and Ctrl+Shift+v.

You'll get used to it.
